Edie Brickell was one of those artists that I liked right off the bat. She had that cool hippie chic vibe, and her guitarist was obviously influenced by Jerry Garcia. So I jumped at the opportunity to see her and her band at the Button South, which was one of the better music clubs in South Florida at the time.
There is not much to say about this show, other than it was really, really good. Edie’s vocals were so sweet, and the band was tight and energetic. They also tossed in some cool cover tunes by Bob Dylan and David Bowie. I guess if you are going to pick artists to cover, those are solid choices.
Which I had more to share, but it was just a good, fun concert, and I was glad that I got to see them in their prime.
Here’s the setlist.

Saw her in Philly back in 1990 or so. We were in a small venue and it was a great show!

What I Am was and is a great track…total chill vibe and like you said Hippie like! I remember seeing her on SNL and thinking man this chic is baked but she still delivers it vocally!
Nice one!
